Scion Concept

MXlonerider · 07-05-2006, 03:13 PM

Just wondering if anybody else has any other new info. on Scion's new concept car, the "Fuse" concept, or any info. on possibly future production of something like this car?..

"Our sources say the Fuse shows what the next Scion, a more upscale coupe, will look like. The car will likely have a 200-hp-plus turbo four-cylinder paired to a six-speed manual."- Popular Mechanics, July '06

I thuink i saw some artical about it on edmunds.com, try searching there.

The car is not going to have a 200-hp engine in it. I can tell you that.

As for the next Scion that is coming out, there have been spy photos of a new xB, but nothing as far as a tC or xA.

The FUSE concept was never advertised as the next concept car for Scion, it only advertised features that future Scions may or may not have

go to scion.com and look at the concept section, they show the fuse there, and a bit of info, I've heard several rumours that this is the final year for the tc, and the final year for the xA(thank god, ugly ass car) only reason they are going to swap out the xa for something else is because the dealerships can't give those cars away, the xb I also have seen the t2b concept, but I've seen, and I forget where, of one that was at the Tokyo auto show(?) as the new xB thats sposed to be on the streets by 08, scion is run in a 3 year cycle, they look at the sales of each car every three years(from the start of vehicle production for that vehicle) and decide if they need to change it, or get rid of it

Didn't they say that the Tc was going to be a turbo I4 as well?
I never see them actually doing that to one of their cars.

this is not the final year for the tC, i can guarantee there is going to be a 2008 tC. [remember i work for scion]

the t2B was a concept, and will stay a concept - and only that.

Dealerships are getting rid of the xA's plenty fast enough, they just dont get a whole lot in. Not all Scions run in 3 year cycles:

xB - 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007

And NO again to Scion looking at the sales of each vehicle. Scion decides how many of the cars its going to produce, and knows it will sell them ALL. They decide they need to change it when people stop ordering them from dealerships. If Scion ran this way, the tC probably wouldnt change for another 5-6 years.

are they going to atleast do some updates on the powertrain of the xa/xb? I know in arkansas there might be 15 - 20 xa's on the road, because no one likes them here, a few hundred xb's are on the road, and I can't drive past a parking lot without seeing a few TC's, oh and what was the reason in not making the 2.0 release TC yellow? like the 2.0 xa and xb

The drivetrain isnt going to change in these cars - in order to keep costs down.

The 2.0 xA was Spectra Blue Mica. The only Scion to ever come in Solar Yellow was the xB - why no other Scion ever came in that color is beyond me.

jwaj2002 · 07-28-2006, 10:55 PM

no... I saw an xa in solar yellow at the dealership, oh and if you work for them, whats their customer service like? I've been having alot of trouble with the service department where I bought mine, they don't want to fix it

there is no xA in solar yellow, i really dont know where you are seeing this, are you sure its not an xB? Maybe it is a used car with a custom color

Whats wrong with your car? What dont they want to fix? This may be a problem with the dealership, and not Scion Corp.

jwaj2002 · 08-04-2006, 11:02 PM

its a dealership problem, when I picked the car up, it was dark, I started heading home, and the headlights shut off (when I first bought the car) well after fighting them over a few paperwork issues, it took a month to take it back, when I did they said it was my fault that they shut off, and I was going to have to pay an unbeleivable amount of money to get them to put the correct alternator in the car(they claimed the original alt was wrong, and it was my fault and wasn't covered under factory or extended warranties)
and it was a brand new xA I drive an xB I know the difference, the xA looks like something a 2 year old drew

Hey our photographer shot these photos this past weekend at Hot Import Nights in Los Angeles. This is a concept scion i think designed by the five axis guys...it is the shits...

TheQuietThings · 08-28-2006, 08:07 PM

um... thats the FUSE
designed by Scion

doock87 · 08-29-2006, 11:03 PM

ps. turbo I-4 may not be as big a pipe dream as you may think as toyota has bought the majority of shares of fuji heavy. you know, the same guys that make subaru's and saabs? toyco may have a few tricks up their sleeves for upcoming models.

jwaj2002 · 09-14-2006, 11:08 PM

since some people tend not to believe the 3 year deal that scions are run on

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/view...014&highlight=
http://pressroom.toyota.com/Releases...T2006091198974

thats about the xb being discontinued

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/view...023&highlight=

and thats about the xa being discontinued

these cars are on a 3 year cycle, the first of the year sound the end of both the xa and xb, and next year, the end of 07 will be the same for the end of the TC now, QuietThings, if you want to prove that press release wrong, please do, I hate to see the xb go, the xa, I say get rid of they are butt ugly
